This position afforded him many hours of careful study of instruments by the great Italian masters including Antonio Stradivari, Giuseppe Guarneri \"del Gesu\", G.B. Guadagnini, and Nicolo Amati. Such intensive study of the work of these craftsmen continues to inform and inspire Ryan's own violin making and in 2016, he struck out on his own to focus solely on making new violins, violas, and cellos in Albuquerque, New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, Ryan moved his workshop to Baltimore to join Perrin and Associates Fine Violins.
